89 is too low, if your saturations drop below 92 it is considered low
My husband is a paramedic and he says they give oxygen 92 and below.
I think most of us have this problem with our lungs
Its a matter of trying to clear them by doing physio to get the phlegm up or i find having an asthma inhaler and having a few puffs on that helps to clear your airway and breath a little easier.

Do you check your oxygen level by going to doctors or you have device at home?
